Noel Gallagher Would Write Iconic James Bond Theme Song, Says Oasis Singer
In a recent interview with TalkSport, Noel Gallagher expressed his enthusiasm for writing the next James Bond theme song, stating that it would be an "absolute honour". The Oasis legend, a self-proclaimed long-time Bond fan, emphasized the importance of having British artists contribute to the franchise's iconic songs.
Gallagher highlighted the significance of showcasing British talent in creating these timeless tunes, suggesting that American artists should not dominate this esteemed role. His sentiment echoes his previous statements about recording a song for Bond in "a heartbeat". Gallagher also hinted at his desire to play a "Mancunian villain" in the next installment.
The history of Bond theme songs is long-standing, dating back to 1962's Dr No, with each subsequent film boasting its own unique composition. British talent has made occasional appearances, including John Barry, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney and Wings, Lulu, Sheena Easton, Duran Duran, Adele, Sam Smith, and Billie Eilish.
However, the recent departure of long-time lead Daniel Craig and creative control now resting with Amazon MGM Studios has left many uncertainties surrounding future films.
